Who knows why some TI's are on Ebay and why some are on Turnkey's B-stock list....its all speculation
How you interpret things depends on your state of mind....
But one thing is for sure.....Access, in my opinion should consider dropping the TI concept. Hardware synth = hardware synth and thats the way its been for 40 years and there is no harm in conceeding that that is the way it should remain. When the Virus C came out and the marketing drive went on and on...I started to suspect Access were becoming over confident....almost arrogant. Put it this way.....the original Minimoog was a nice synth at the time....but it did not gain 'legendary' status until sometime after production ceased. When the Virus C came out 'people' were already talking of its filters as legendary blah blah blah......a bit premature in my book.
The possible reality is this > Access have had probably 2 years now to get the Ti and it aint happening. It will take a miracle to get it working for everyone....in fact....we all know that will probably never be the case. I should imagine sales of TI's is a bit light....and who the hell is going to have the confidence to buy into the Ti MKII concept? I was considering this.....maybe I still will....but for this kind of money I can buy real analog
